Teams were randomly selected through the computer. Discs were incubated in one week in distilled water, followed by their inoculation. The standard plate count was used to determine the microbial counts (CFU\/ml) after incubating the surface swabbed at 37\u00b0C and an incubation duration of 24\u201348 h. Triple experiments were carried out.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Treatment with 5% iodine solution significantly reduced microbial colony counts for all tested organisms (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.005).\n S. mutans<\/jats:italic>\n decreased from 191.4 \u00b1 3.8 to 106.2 \u00b1 2.4 CFU\/ml,\n L. salivarius<\/jats:italic>\n from 175.1 \u00b1 2.7 to 86.8 \u00b1 1.8 CFU\/ml, and\n C. albicans<\/jats:italic>\n from 115.1 \u00b1 3.9 to 50.0 \u00b1 1.6 CFU\/ml, showing the strongest antifungal effect. These results indicate that 5% iodine is highly effective in reducing microbial colonisation on silicone-based resilient liners.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n \n The 5% iodine solution demonstrated good antimicrobial action in silicone-based liner contaminated with the oral pathogens in reduction of microbial load\n in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n . But no evaluation was done on the effects on the physical and mechanical properties of the liners.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijdr.ijdr_569_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,23]],"date-time":"2026-03-23T17:00:09Z","timestamp":1774285209000},"page":"412-416","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association between the Proportions of Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, and Lactobacillus salivarius in Dental Plaques and Dentures"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Sahar M.","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, College of Dentistry, AL-Rafidain University, Baghdad, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Entisar M.","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, College of Medicine, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esraa","family":"Fuad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, College of Dentistry, AL-Rafidain University, Baghdad, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260325","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.1016\/bs.aambs.2023.02.001","article-title":"Biofilm ecology associated with dental caries:Understanding of microbial interactions in oral communities leads to development of therapeutic strategies targeting cariogenic biofilms","volume":"122","author":"Cai","year":"2023","journal-title":"Adv Appl Microbiol"},{"key":"R2-20260325","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2046309","DOI":"10.1080\/20002297.2022.2046309","article-title":"Streptococcus mutans-associated bacteria in dental plaque of severe early childhood caries","volume":"14","author":"Zhang","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Oral Microbiol"},{"key":"R3-20260325","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"940602","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2022.940602","article-title":"Streptococcusmutans membrane vesicles enhance candida albicans pathogenicity and carbohydrate metabolism","volume":"12","author":"Wu","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front Cell Infect Microbiol"},{"key":"R4-20260325","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"840245","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2022.840245","article-title":"Lactobacillus spp. for gastrointestinal health:Current and future perspectives","volume":"13","author":"Dempsey","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front Immunol"},{"key":"R5-20260325","first-page":"45","article-title":"Candida-associated denture stomatitis.
